Glass TechnologyCountrywide are proud to incorporate the latest Energy-Saving Glass, SGG Planitherm Total+
SGG Planitherm Total+® advanced glass coating technology provides up to 3 times more thermal insulation than standard double glazing.
This means:
-
More of the sun’s energy passes through the glass allowing your home free solar heat gain.
-
Heat inside your home is reflected back into the room.
-
This reduces or eliminates the need for additional heating without compromising the amount of natural light passing into your home.

Window Energy Ratings
The Window Energy Rating (WER) labelling scheme was launched in the UK by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC), a Government-supported independent body.
By using information contained on the label, consumers can reliably compare one product with another and make informed decisions regarding the energy performance of a window. The A (best) to G (worst) rating system is similar to the labelling already used on white goods.
The label gives a rating based on the performance of the whole window (frame and glass) and therefore allows fair comparison of one window with another.
